Welcome to the "Permanent Markings"

I decided that I wanted to start a blog in where I can share some of my thoughts that I have throughout the day or week. While searching for a title for this blog I was looking up fonts and came across a font that is called "Permanent Marker." I then looked up the definition to what Permanent meant. According to dictionary.com it says, " Lasting or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely." The definition of markings is, "An identification mark." I choose this title because there are so many things that I encounter on a day to day basis that get me thinking or stick in my mind just like a "permanent marking" on a desk that we see in classrooms. These are the things that get me thinking. I hope that you enjoy just the small random things I come up with.

Birth of a Best Friend

September 17, 1960 was the day my best friend arrived to this earth. Nina Marie (Hall) French is her name. This woman has meant the world to me. Losing her has been one of the hardest things in this world that I had to deal with. Not only did I lose a mother, I lost a best friend, a provider, a caregiver and piece of my heart.But because of the unfailing love that God shows me day to day I am able to continue stronger than i was before. Mom you taught me so many things in this life. You have taught me to follow my passions full on  without turning back. You have shown me a heart that is bigger then anyone's that I have seen. Every need of every person on this earth was put before your own. I hope that I can obtain somewhat of an ounce of your heart. Your were a mother not only to Patrick and I, but a mother to everyone in our family. You have taken care of every single one of us and I thank you. I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Mom! I miss you and Love you. Cant wait to see you again. 





Dear Mom

by Anonymous

Dear Mom, I said a prayer for you
to thank the Lord above
For blessing me with a lifetime
of your tenderhearted love.

I thanked God for the caring
you've shown me through the years,
For the closeness we've enjoyed
in time of laughter and of tears.

And so, I thank you from the heart
for all you've done for me
And I bless the Lord for giving me
the best mother there could be

The Testimony

Last night during campus church we were challenged multiple times to be bold and share our testimonies with the ones around us.I used to be very shy to share my testimony because I felt as if my testimony wasn't "good" or "flashy' enough. I felt as if it was pointless to even state it, Since i have been attending FWBBC I have realized that no matter what my testimony is i can minister to someone. The use of a testimony can be a tool to fulfill what 1 Kings 8:60 says,
"That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is none else"
One's testimony can and should let someone know who Christ is by stating what He has done on our lives. Often we learn the most about God from experiences in our lives. I believe a testimony is an account of those experiences. Therefore someone can learn from you "experiences" through your testimony.

Unfailing Love

"Though he brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love" Lamentations 3:32
This is verse that means the world to me, thus placing it in my heart and mind as my life verse for my life at this point.  Through the past 5 or 6 years I have went through many storms that have taught me many of things. The biggest that I want to mention  is the passing of my Best Friend, rock, life and mother.


January 23, 2010 was one of the hardest moments of my life. I received a call that hands down became the quietest  phone conversation that I have ever had from my younger brother. This phone call consisted of one sentence that changed my life forever. "Shes gone"....... At this point I didn't know what to say or do but fall to my knees. As the news spread across campus I received many texts from people who encouraged me that day. But there is one text that I received  from a friend that I will never forget. That text consisted of this verse that I have mentioned. This verse has reminded me time after time of how much the Lord loves me no matter what. His Love is unfailing. It never ceases. It also remind me of how someone here on earth can love me so much to send me a text with this reminder.
